Coverage of the event will be featured on Inhabitat.com
Although the forum is a conversation on Making Public Places in general,
We are using our neighborhood in NY - ( the Meatpacking District – Gansevoort Plaza ) the project of streetscapes and public space – to kick-start the conversation. (which will include twitter, live web and students walking the neighborhood-sketching and conversing). We will formalize the conversation during the forum with various invited professionals.
